does the rte 9 only raise the temp 40 deg. at max thermostat setting?

Mr. Eaton: The Rheem RTE9 will have the capability to raise the water temperature the following degrees regardless of setting: 3 gpm=20 deg F; 2.05 gpm = 30; 1.54 gpm = 40; 1.23 gpm = 50; 1.02 gpm = 60; 0.88 gpm = 70; 0.77 gpm = 80; 0.68 gpm = 90; 0.61 gpm = 100 deg F. What temperature you see at the tap is dependent on your input groundwater temp which could be from 40 to 70. If you have selected the first setting (shower/tub), you cutoff temp from the OFW will be 105 deg F. The second setting (kitchen sink) will be 115 deg F. The third (business) will be 125 deg F. So then, if you are taking a shower you want 115 deg F water. In a shower you will need about 1.5 gpm. This means from the above coordinates you will get a 40 deg F temperature rise regardless of setting. So then if your groundwater is lower than (115-40=75), then you will have to draw less than full showerhead nozzle flow to get the desired temperature. You can almost always get the temperature you want with Rheem since it can regulated down to 0.4 gpm, which is really good, but you will have to use a smaller flow rate.

this heater has Low to Hi does not give the temperature with numbers so there would not be a way for it to be set at 40 deg. in my opinion. Maybe the manufacturer's site would have more info. Sorry I can't be more of a help.

That's how thermostats work. I set the temp a bit lower. If the tstat is near there cold air outlet you will also get a false reading so you have to set the temp lower to keep the rest of the house at the desired temp.

Yes the temp control is in one degree increments. You set the swing setting manually to allow the thermostat to cycle in .25 degree increments. There are 9 settings so you can allow the temp to swing up to 2.25 degrees.

Try turning the. Thermostat setting higher so it's higher than the room temp.

David Depew answered this question best. I agree with his statements and observations on this thermostat. Super easy to set up and install, just unplug the connectors one at a time and plug them into the new thermostat, keep an eye on the color of wires. The RTD temperature sensor comes with a self tapping metal screw, the lip where you'll install it has two holes, one for the RTD cable to pass through and the smaller hole to screw the thermostat down. I put this digital unit on a Traeger Jr. , works great!

Looking at the control right now...Warm is the first selection then it jumps to 200, 250,300 and to 400. I have used all the temperatures.

I'm curious about this too. I set mine for 370 and as soon as it reaches the temperature it turns off. SO frustrating.

The thermostat I have purchased recently has a really nice program to set temp differential.Turn the thermostat HEAT/COOL switch to OFF. Press the center button, also labeled as SAVE, for five or ten seconds until it flashes the differential number.The number is adjustable from one to nine. Press the temp up or down buttons to change the differential setting. A setting of one is the tightest range (less than one degree differential). A setting of 2 gives somewhat wider differential, about +or- one degree. Etc.After you have made your selection press the SAVE button and the room temperature will be displayed. Then set back to HEAT/COOL. The thermostat I have purchased recently has a really nice program to set temp differential.Turn the thermostat HEAT/COOL switch to OFF.

Sorry, I am still trying to find out if you can program different temp setting for different times. No one seems to be able to answer the question.

Yes, but there is only one set temperature and s difference parameter. In your scenario, set the target temp to 34 and difference of 3. This will activate the cooling circuit from 37(or above)-> 34 and the heating circuit from 31(or below) -> 34

I don't like to put the heat all the way up, but that's just me. On a 0 to 10 dial, I go 8 1/2 max. Hope that helped : )

no. there is a key pad on the front of the unit so you can select the temperature that you would like. Its worked great for us so far. Good luck

The heater control is not intended to bea thermostat that will keep an area temperature no lower than a setting. It keeps the heater no colder than a setting so my heater came on briefly when the temperature was 25F. It didn't significantly heat the area. I would not trust this heater to keep an area from going below freezing, The outsidetemperature plays a major role in the temperature that this or similar heaters heat an area. By experement you could find a setting that would keep an area at 40F but if the outside temp. took a dive the inside temp will also go down but not as much.If you need to freeze protect an area plug your heater into a Farm Innovators TC-3. Find one on Amazon. It kicks on at 35F The heater control is not intended to bea thermostat that will keep an area temperature no lower than a setting.

It doesn't have a digital display or numeric dial to set a definite temperature. Even on low with the dial set at the lowest setting, I doubt 40 degrees F would be the lowest it would go. I'm sure the thermostat would kick in somewhere in the low 60's/high 50's and turn the heat on.

I am in FL and can not access my manual, but I have mine set at 48 and it will go lower. Can not recall if an external thermostat can be used.

You can use the up arrow to "set" the temperature higher, but the heater may not be capable of achieving a higher temperature in your room. It sounds like your space is too cold and/or too big for the heater to handle it. If it runs constantly and never shows a temperature higher than 58, then that is probably as high as it can manage.
